Abstract: 
Apex Printing Company Ltd. (APC) performed appraisal on their employee to strategically achieve their organizational goals through staff enhancement. Performance appraisal evaluates personal traits and development for organizational benefits. Questionnaire administration and personal interview were the methodology adopted in this research. APC is made up of 1800 staff, comprising 1450 junior employees, 350 members of management and senior staff. APC performance appraisal system is unproductive in evaluating accurate performance of its staff, because of human prejudice in assessment. From the research, we therefore conclude that performance appraisal in APC is affected by prejudices while performance appraisal machinery in APC is ineffective in evaluating employee performance. Management of APC is recommended to embark on reviewing of the total appraisal system of the company design to achieve the goals of performance appraisal of employees.
